In most cases, a tooth must be removed because only a part of a dental crown or a weakened tooth substance is present.Appropriate extraction forceps are required to remove the tooth safely, without crushing the soft tissue or damaging the surrounding bone substance. If the shape of the forceps does not fit and the tooth is only gripped selectively, a fracture can be caused and will often result in a surgical intervention. To avoid this and to perform tooth extraction in a most atraumatic way, Helmut Zepf has developed a forceps shape that is adapted to the anatomical shape of the dental crown. The concave inner surfaces of the ROBA extracting forceps ensure an optimal adaptation to the convex tooth surface and can be placed safely and subgingivally on the root. The serrated outer contour prevents slipping during luxation. Consequently, the risk of fracture during extraction is significantly reduced.
